Hi Don,

I'm updating my site this week.

It should be easier to buy Mashboy with the new interface. I'll let you know
when it's done.

cheers,

Sol.

Hi,

Thanks for the positive comments on my toy project.


Allen B wrote:
Why for ages 15 and up only when it can be a bath toy (for kids)?
Legal
reasons, I suspect.

In Europe any toys intended for children under 14 and manufactured
outside
the EU must be CE Tested. The testing fees are expensive and add to the
unit
costs so by marking the item as a collector's item and for ages 15 and
up I
don't have to get it tested.

cheers,

Sol.

 Hi Alan,

  Well done Sol, not only is it a pretty groovy object but it's really
well
  presented and packaged too.  I'm extremely intrigued by the idea of an
  'art-toy'.  These collectable figures are a must for every household, I
  think!

 Glad you like the toy.


 If other people want to see what Alan is talking about the website for my
 toy venture (called FiGUREPUNK) is here
 www.figurepunk.com
 if you're interested get in touch. All the toys I've produced so far are
 available via the website. Actually this is version 3 of the site so if
you
 notice any problems with it let me know. I'm currently prototyping more
toys
 so hope to have a few more out in time for christmas.

 No Don you didn't miss it, I'd not yet posted about it to the list as I
was
 waiting to get the newer version of the website up. Art vending,
 well..
 Hayvend have been going in the UK for a while
 http://www.hayvend.com/index.shtml
 you could ask them for advice.

 or you could use a gashapon vending machine (like they use for toys in US
 and Japan) and sell art in little capsules for example
 http://www.toysnjoys.com/gashapon.html
 you should be able to get empty capsules to fill with handmade pieces.

 Hope this is of use.

FLUXLIST: mashboy oh boy!

2004-08-12 Thread Alan Bowman
Listen up folks!

This morning I recieved a 'Mashboy' (tm) from Sol Nte, Stoke on Trent (UK)'s
(no don't worry, few people in the UK actually know exactly where it is
either) leading producer of art-toys (no Roger that doesn't mean what you're
thinking!).

And...



and...



and...


AND..

it's pretty bloody amazing!

Well done Sol, not only is it a pretty groovy object but it's really well
presented and packaged too.  I'm extremely intrigued by the idea of an
'art-toy'.  These collectable figures are a must for every household, I
think!

I was wondering if there may be outlet opportunities that could be taken
advantage of via Fluxlistian contacts?  Surely some of you must know of
various cool shops (stores!)  that would simply die to stock these things!

Just a thought!

Thanks Sol!  It really is fab.
